• To replace the DVD drive with the second HARD disk on the pavilion DM4-2000

  Hello

  I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?

  Any help appreciated,

  Tim

  You need a car adapter. Your laptop uses 12.7 mm optical readers and you need this card:

  See Page 45 for replacement instructions.

  You place the additional hard drive inside the adapter, then swap the front to make look it good.

• Update of disk with the Portege 2000

  First Post! I am the proud owner of gently used Portege 2000.

  Browsed the web trying to find out if the Portege 2000 will be one hard disk other than the MK2003GAH. I have a MK4004GAH, but when installed it does not seem to be detected, the BIOS reports no HDD installed. The reader might be deffective of course, but I have nothing else to connect to and of course I can't test it because it is not detected.

  In addition, the 2000 does not use standard PC100 SODIMM? When I removed the RAM cover, it does not resemble a standard SODIMM slot.

  Thank you guys

  Hello

  I no a lot of experience with this Portege, but I can just confirm that this laptop comes with 1.8 inch Toshiba MK2003GAH HARD drive. I don't really know which are hard are compatible with this model of laptop but maybe partner allowed in your country can give you precise information on this subject. They are specialized for the upgrade of the laptop.

  On the module of RAM I found information that the Portege can manage with 512 MB max and module compatible memory PC133 256 MB - PA3158U - 1 M 25.

• Portege A100: Change the new HARD disk in slave mode?

  Hello, I have a portege a100 laptop, I want to buy a Dvd for my laptop burner and one in mind, even if I need to put my hard drive in slave mode first, that the dvd drive is set as master.
  My hard drive model is MK1032GAX, could someone tell me that it is possible to do so, before buying the dvd burner to 100%.

  Hello

  To my knowledge it s is not possible. The technology of the laptop is different, and you can't compare it with the desktop PC.
  As far as I know, the settings are fixed and you cannot change it. I think that the HARD disk controller is set master and you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player.
  Player settings are different and the Toshiba service partner can give you more details about compatible CD/DVD players.

• Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

  Hi all

  I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
  Here's what I did.

  I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

  I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
  Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
  Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

  New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

  I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

  Help appreciated!
  Thank you very much
  Alex

  Hello!

  Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

  I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
  In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

  Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:
  http://www.48bitlba.com

  Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

  Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

  Good bye

• Portege R830 - external HARD disk error - "target not found device.

  Hi all

  I recently bought a 1HD R830 which has windows 7 as its OS.
  I have a few old external hard disks that were formatted on windows vista.

  When I try to use it on my new computer it says "target not found device.
  I called support for the external hardrive, who said this is an incompatibility problem and that I would need to re format external hard drives (and therefore lose all about them unless I copied them on a compatible hard drive).
  Is this true?

  Rather than go through the hassle to copy all data to another hard drive is there a way to make my new computer compatible with the external hard drive?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Jason

  I have an old drive external HARD with images recorded on it and I use it for years with WXP, Vista, Win7 and now with Win8 too. There is no problem at all so I put t understand what could be wrong with your HARD drive.

  Do you have similar problems with other external devices connected to your laptop Portege?

• 'Built by HARD disk error' in Portege R200

  Hello

  My Portege R200 shows "built-in HARD disk error" start-up. " In the BIOS screen, it says "no drive" on the HARD drive.

  What should I do? I checked the connection and the drive is connected to the fine. I heard no noise when starting.
  Is this HARD drive problem? or maybe motherboard? Help!

  Lee

  The HARD disk rotates upward?

  Try resetting the BIOS to default settings.

  Other than that, I think that it's not just you can do except send the laptop to a repair center.

• Portege M400 - XP Setup cannot detect any HARD disk

  Hello world

  I have everything, what I can and can't try. During the Installation of Windows XP cannot detect any HARD disk.

  PORTEGE M400 PPM40E-0DG0253I
  BIOS 3.8

  Installation of Vista properly with RAID, but XP installation drivers won't work for all that. I try a lot of drivers (versions even for Vista), with integration of nLite, with SD-start 16-bit back, DriverPacks. I bought no change - disk-USB, the laptop cannot see HDD. I try also with the USB-SATA external enclosure, but this without success, but I can see the HARD drive

  Any ideas?

  Somehow you lack driver SATA.
  Very good description how to prepare the CD of facilities, you can find HERE.

  This Toshiba document could be useful for you:

• Portege 2000 - HARD drive upgrade

  I shopped for a replacement HARD drive for my trusty P2000 and finished with a MK3008GAL GB 30 I thought was an improvement on the original MK2003GAH. However, I noticed too late that the new drive sports a connector ZIF instead of the multi connector IDE - like inside the computer. Is there some sort of adapter to get out of this mess? Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  As far as I know the HARD disk can be used only in combination with original HARD drive and there is no any type of adapters. Sorry, but something like that is unknown to me.

  This is not a Virus problem, presents a hard drive failure, there may be many reasons for you hard disk to fail.

• 2000 - 2B10NR: hard disk at startup error...

  They gave me this computer from a friend to keep and fix (out of warranty) and I turned on, I get the message

  Hard drive error
  Run the hard drive Test in the diagnostic system.
  Hard disk # (XXX)

  I searched your forums and thought it is better to buy recovery disks. Yes, I did.

  They came and I installed everything and became happy and then at the end (2 hours), the Recovery Manager said he failed and gave a system error log. I recorded it on my usb key. Then tried again. No luck...

  I did a test lying on the hard drive and the first time he says failure of long DST: 6BS883 - 6 B 7806-MFGK1F-61? ED03

  So I need to know if it's a simple hard drive failure.

  Everything came out OK in tests.

  I found that a replacement HARD drive on ebay for $ 30 and it's an easy replacement procedure.

  I just need a confirmation of this is the failure of HARD drive before you buy

  What HARD drive I see for my model:

  320GB SATA drive hard - 5 400 rpm, 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF)

  Is this correct? There is no model custum. Bought at the store with equipment and factory settings.

  Thank you

  Yes, DST Fail means that the hard drive is bad. The 320GB hard drive matches what you have now.

• Portege 2000 - new installation using the PCMCIA CD-ROM XP

  I try to install XP on Portege 2000 using the official PCMCIA Toshiba CD-ROM drive.

  Install the XP disk boots fine, but after that Setup copied the files it blue screen (BSOD blue). I'm not very tech savvy, but I think it means that the BIOS can 'see' the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but that the real image of XP loaded by the installation program cannot, probably due to missing drivers for the PCMCIA CD-ROM?

  Then, I thought that maybe I could use F6 to load additional drivers during the initial installation, but it is beyond me to create the right set of files required. I know that you can download the Freecom drivers, but I don't know what are the driver files from CD to use and how to create from scratch the txtsetup.oem file right.

  Does anyone know how to properly use F6 and load the drivers for it?

  I found a lot of messages suggesting I copy the installer to the HARD disk and launch the installation from there. My problem is that the XP installation is an upgrade CD, so I will ask you at a certain time to insert a previous Windows CD and if at that time there I don't have a working CD-ROM drive...

  First post on this forum so be nice - I did a search but not find a thread with a real solution, but of course if I miss a please report!

  Hello

  I managed to install Windows XP Home the Portege 2000 using the PCMCIA reader but I ve used recovery disks original Toshiba which includes the correct driver for external optical drive.

  So far I tried not to install Windows XP Home edition, using the Microsoft installation disc.

  Maybe you should get the disks of facilities and not use this upgrade disk. I think that on this path, you will be able to install WXP as suggested when you copy data from facilities at the disk directly.
  Have you tried to get the original recovery disc Toshiba WXP?

• Portege 2000 - how to install Windows XP without ODD and FDD?

  I have this Toshiba Portege 2000 old OS crashed a few days ago. This laptop is not an optical drive and a floppy drive.

  The first thing is mind is to purchase an external optical drive which I did, but it does not seem to boot from it. I have trouble to install Windows XP but nothing helped.
  Can you guys please help me?

  The last option I have in mind would be to install Windows XP on a network. The portege 2000 is able to boot from PXE, the thing is that I don't know how to do it! Can someone tell me how to boot from PXE?

  Thank you very much.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know if copy you the Windows XP CD to HARD disk and then you start from external floppy drive (it should work) you can start the installation.
  Copy the XP CD to your HARD drive with a drive enclosure external DRIVE on another computer, create a boot floppy XP and start from it.
  Go to the I386 folder and start the WINNT. EXE

  Or you use the CD/DVD drive from another computer with the netbootdisk. I found this with Google:

• Thud with my Portege 2000

  My Portege 2000 hard disk drive makes this 'thud' noises? Is this normal? I fear it may be about to break! Should I back up ASAP?

  Fear not ASP8686! The actuator gets ceased to be on the media to a ramp where there is inactivity disk of typically 0.5 s FYI, the actuator contains a control arm where the read/write heads are located at the end of the arm. The noise you hear is the trigger to achieve a magnetic catch. The heads are removed by the media. This reduces the amount of energy that consumes the hard drive and in turn, it improves the reliability of the HARD drive. Moreover, it is a good idea to back up your computer regularly!

• Portege 2000 - information needed

  Hello!

  I need some special information on the Toshiba Portege 2000, I hope someone could help me.

  1. What CPU can I build? At the present time, there is a Mobile Pentium 3 750 MHz... Back on Portege 2000 supports higher as 1 GHz or 1.13 GHz processors? What socket has the P2000?
  2 How much RAM is supported?
  3. HARD-medium disk. At the moment I have a 30 GB. Support for more information? Maybe 40 GB or even 60 GB?

  Thanks so far! :)

  Why you n t install and use the software of hardware diagnosis like Everest home edition for example.
  This software provides all the info and details.

  > Back on Portege 2000 supports higher as 1 GHz or 1.13 GHz processors?
  It depends on the Chipset. Check the chipset and the specifications. The chipset details can be found on the Intel page. There you should find the info about the CPU compatibility.

  > 2. How much RAM is supported?
  Only one slot is available and can be upgraded. You can upgrade the RAM to 512 MB max

  > 3. HDD-support. At the moment I have a 30 GB. Support for more information? Maybe 40 or even 60 GB?
  I think that it should be possible to use the 40 or 60 GB.
  The difference between the 30 and 60 GB is not that huge.
  But you should first try with a 40 GB enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  Good bye
